oh no, the cft is not disposable like the drop tanks, its permenant
Weight is different if you don’t take CFT
I remember reading that the 220 was made to correct reliability issues, but decreased the total thrust, that’s probably why

220/E engines should have less thrust, it was sacrifice for much more reliability and more thrust on high speed.

Empty weight without CFT is different.
It’s increased above Mach 1 and at higher altitudes. From ~12km and up it surpasses the 100 engine completely. Sadly high altitudes are still poorly simulated for all aircraft, making this advantage a little less special

On a side note, since the version of the F15J we gotten is the one with JHMCS, does this mean that it can have the AAM-5s retroactively added to it once we get to that stage of IR missiles?
only real upgrades in terms of equipment is just aam5/b and aam4b. everything is already added, although there is the f15j jsi thing, although only a few of them got made

I thought the JSI wasnt deployed/finished yet?
supposedly they bought all the radars, but cancelled the program after making a few of the jsi aircraft. jsi is still plausible to add to the game, since multiple aircraft were made
Ill put this in a edit to not bloat this thread as much, its likely it’ll come retroactively for the new f15j, since gaijin has demonstrated multiple times that when they add new missiles, they add it to all the aircraft that uses them unless it doesn’t fit the br they have intended for it.
examples are the r73 and all the su25s and the aim120 and the f16c
another example is the aim9m and the harrier, although with the addition of aim120s, its going to be raised from 11.7 to 12.3
so there is hope to still have a F15J upgrade in the TT
From what I understand the project has not been cancelled, but there is also no completed aircraft yet. I remember the first flight being planned for 2025, though I could be wrong on that.

Im mainly going off of what is in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfWSCosAyKM&t=327s, and man, its funny how lots of what he said came true, though they just skipped the msip and went straight to mtdp and a shitty arh missile

Yea, they just copied the F-15J pre-MSIP cockpit just to have it I guess. The bug report got acknowledged so hopefully it will be fixed later.
I’m sure they’ll fix this eventually, but if it’s intentional, it might be that Japanese electronics and equipment were just lighter (possibly because they were newer) than the US counterparts.
I’m curious because I read it had better dynamic thrust, which I took to be “increased thrust output between minimum and max thrust” which would translate to better acceleration at the very least.
I know on the F-15C topic, @MaMoran20 made a bug report but it got denied: Community Bug Reporting System
I presume the increases are only at high alt and they don’t really care about performance there.
Though @wasa850 claims that PW-220E should have better thrust compared to 220 (I assume 220E same thrust as 100) because they are just 100 engines upgraded to 220 reliability standards making them 220Es.

The increases are above Mach 1 at all altitudes, as well as gradually getting more efficient at altitudes compared to the 100 engine. (Basically losing less thrust at higher altitudes) Though currently in game this is modelled poorly, as is altitude performance of most, if not all, aircraft due to what I think is an engine limitation for the game.
Not sure about this part, I usually see it claimed to be equal to the 220 in output, though it doesn’t seem unreasonable that there would be a difference between the two.
That would be nice, but I guess it’s not as huge of a difference. I’d think higher acceleration at low speeds would be huge as then you can more freely dump speed and build it back up again.
Also I edited my post to add it here but, I’m not sure if MAWS should be reported or not at this point?
If J/APQ-1 is indeed MAWS, then probably best to at least bring it devs attention now. I would but I don’t have any documentation to make the report myself.

Who on earth is spreading such nonsense? The JSI modification plan is currently underway, and all deployed F-15J MSIP aircraft will be upgraded to JSI. The only thing that was canceled was the integration of the LRASM into the JSI.

Added a report for the pilot model since it’s low effort and I don’t have documentation for the big issues: Community Bug Reporting System
If you have documentation on flight suits, please add them to the report.
EDIT: Marked as not a bug.
Looks like would have to make an actual suggestion to get this seen.
